Anyone who says "death to America" - I don't wanna be the kind of person who says "yet you live in jsociety", but you're saying this as an American citizen - you're exercising your right to fhe freedom of speech, as per the First Amendment (which also includes the freedoms of religion, of the press, to assemble peacefully, and to redress grievances). I assume you'd change your mind and say you love America if they elected a socialist president.

But who am I to judge? Trump is an a-hole who's very greedy to the point where he wants Venezuelan oil. Seriously!

    Who's saying this "as an American citizen"? I'm not, tf. I'm banned from entering the US lmao, as are most people on Earth at this point. "Everyone on the internet is American" ass comment. Most people hate the country that invades them and bleeds them dry of every resource.

    I didn't even realize that what I said is very controversial here on Lemmy after looking at the downvotes, so let me clarify that I'm NOT actually calling you hypocrites - as per the First Amendment, you have the right to say what you think of America. I'm NOT in any way denying all of you the right to do exactly that; you're allowed to express any contempt towards this country. I apologize if my opinion may have irritated some of you the wrong way.

    My statement on what Trump said is that Venezuela is gonna fight back anytime soon (and probably impose sanctions on anything made in the US).

    Oh and I support socialism and such. I'm NOT against the idea of socialism, NOR already-existing-socialist countries (including probably Venezuela) - does anyone think I should study socialist/communist theory a bit more, and if so, is there anything short that I can study (using Cowbee's method of taking each paragraph and boiling them down into simple terms which is a pretty good method, to be honest)?

    Also, do you prefer a socialist/communist US over the bourgeois-capitalist US?
